The Board of Trustees recognizes that there are certain behaviours that, if tolerated, would quickly destroy the type of learning environment to which the students and staff of the Division are entitled. These behaviours, categorized as violent, aggressive or abusive will not be tolerated and shall therefore result in immediate action being taken by the Division.

All acts of violence and aggression shall result in those involved being placed on a compulsory Behaviour Management Plan. In addition to this Behaviour Management Plan, each situation shall result in specific consequences, determined by the seriousness of the act, including consideration of expulsion from school for acts of a serious or chronic nature.

Acts of violence and aggression must be well documented and communicated to the School Principal and the Superintendent’s Department. The Board of Trustees will be informed and involved where necessary. The immediate involvement of the parent(s) or guardian(s) is also essential.

Serious consideration is to be given to the involvement of the R.C.M.P. and other agencies in such cases. It is mandatory to involve the R.C.M.P. if there is any violation of the law.
